Movim

A responsive, web-based, cross-platform XMPP client and social platform

About Movim

Movim is a free, open-source distributed social network built on the XMPP standard. It combines chat, group chats, blogging and communities in a responsive web interface, and because it rides on XMPP, users can log in with any Jabber account and talk to people using other XMPP clients. There is no central server: you join a public pod or host your own. Movim suits users who want social networking and messaging on open, decentralized infrastructure they can control.
